Yes, connected over a network via USB2 from an NSLU2, rescanning is when you'd notice the slowdown.
You don't need internal IDE/SATA speeds when you're serving music, but rescan needs as much speed as possible. Lots of I/O requests, particularly for 12.5K tracks. You must notice your network activity light on your router/switch going nuts on a rescan. You have 3 items slowing you down here: USB2, 100 Mbps Ethernet and the NSLU2. I find my USB2 drive directly connected to my PC gives real speeds of 125 Mbps (a far cry from the 480 Mbps USB2 spec) and 100 Mbps Ethernet gives ~85-90 Mbps real speed. The NSLU2 will slow things down further - how much I don't know. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26800 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
